Chris Brown apologizes for being himself — talks the talk — doesn’t walk the walk

Chris Brown, arguably the most hated man in R&B, wants you to know that he’s a changed man.

Well, kind of — if you don’t count the fact that he allegedly dumped his latest girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, for Rihanna, or offended the masses with his terrorist Halloween costume yesterday.

It looks like Brown has learned one thing from his on again/off again girlfriend/punching bag, Rihanna. The R&B singer may “Talk That Talk” but he isn’t walking that walk.

Just a day after making headlines with his racially insensitive Halloween costume, the singer is now appearing in magazines — and on TVs for MTV’s This Is How I Made It and apologizing for his actions in the past, reports Us Weekly.

In the exclusive interview, the controversial pop-icon sits down and dishes the dirt on his troubled life, and apologizes for the multiple mistakes that he has racked up in the past.

“Having to get personal opinion back and having to gain personal success back, it’s not all the way back, you know? But it’s one of my most humbling experiences,” Brown said. “I can’t hate people for making judgment on me or making a decision of liking me or not liking me. All I can do is try to be better as a person, and I’m good with knowing everything isn’t always going to be perfect.”

One thing that has remained steady in his life, aside from his required community service work and court appearances, are Brown’s fans, a fact for which the singer is thankful.

“The fan base that I have and the actual support is unreal to me. They’ve put me in a position to be able to help people and continue to do music and help my family, help my mom,” explained Brown. “I just want my fans to be able to identify, whether it be the ones that maybe could have had everything or they maybe blew their chance and they failed and didn’t know how to get back up.”

The singer added, “My story or my life or my legacy can hopefully show them that once you’re down, that don’t just mean you’re down forever. You never let up. A lot of the negatives that we always go through, we’re gonna have to get through that. It sounds crazy, but that’s what makes us who we are.”
